    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
    Go to: Apple Express Lane;
    Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
    Then choose iTunes Store;
    Then choose Account Management;
    Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click Continue;
    Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
    Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would like your security/challenge questions reset;
    Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
    on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
    Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
    sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the security questions.
    At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • Am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad.  I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id.  How to I create new security questions?

    I am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad.  I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id.  I have tried logging into my apple id and have chosen the security and priviacy settings to set up security questions.  However I am prompted to enter answers to security questions and am told they don't match.  How to I create new security questions or reset them? 

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    my macair won't turn on. when I try to turn it on, the white screen appears. But instead of the apple logo, there is a flashing folder that has a question mark on it. how do i fix this?

    Try this.
    Erase and Reinstall OS X
    Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
    Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
    Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
    Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
    Select the Erase tab.
    Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
    After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
    Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
    Follow the instructions.
    I hope I solved your question.

    iphoto is blacking out vertical images when importing. how do i fix this?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

    Contact the iTunes Store staff, or the application's creator, or if the purchase was charged to a credit card, dispute the charge.

  • Boot into os9 shows ?question mark? flashing - How do I fix this?

    Hi All - old g4 - from snow leo i was able to boot into os9 classic - but I needed to go farther and boot directly into os9
    - so i chose it from startup disk prefs
    - it came up with os9 happy face for 1/2 second then moved to a page with floppy icon and ?question mark? flashing inside - now it was stuck on this even with off/on
    - I tried all the known keys etc. to restart in 10.6 - nothing worked... I had to remove the drive and start from external - then xxxx and re-chose 10.6 so I'm back to work...
    BUT: I would like to fix the os9 partition that always worked in the past so :
    Q: HOW DO I FIX THE -  floppy icon and ?question mark? flashing inside - and get it to see os9?

    Using OS 9 in Classic isn't quite the same as booting directly into OS 9. When installing OS 9, one step that must be done in order to boot to it is to install the disk driver. If you didn't do that, then you can't boot into OS 9.
    You might be able to get it to work by running Disk Repair (I think that's what it's called. Can't remember for sure) within Classic. Somewhere in the menus you have the option to install the driver on the drive you choose. See if that works.
    If not, the only fix after that is to boot to the OS 9 disk, do an erase and install, and make sure to choose the option to install the disk driver. So back up both your OS 9 and OS X installations first. If OS 9 is on its own partition, then you can do the Erase and Install to that drive without affecting the OS X drive/partition.
    Afterwards, either copy your third party apps back to the OS 9 partition from your backup, or reinstall them.

  • I am trying to buy a game and it says purchased failed because my Apple ID is now locked and unable to make purchases how do I fix this?

    I Am trying to buy a game and it is saying my Apple ID is locked how do I fix this

    If you are getting a message that your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If that doesn't fix it, or if the message is that it is locked, then contact iTunes Support and see what they say : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
